Skid Row - 18 & Life Lyrics
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.He had no money, oooh no good at home.He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world aloneAnd now its18 and life you got it18 and life you knowYour crime is time and its18 and life to go(repeat above)Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.They say he loved adventure, rickys the wild one.He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.Bang bang shoot em up, the party never ends.You cant think of dying when the bottles your best friendAnd now itsChorusAccidents will happen they all heard ricky sayHe fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.Chorus
